Answer:

16 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a square is calculated as

A = s² ( s is the length of side )

Here A = 144 , then

s² = 144 ( take square root of both sides )

s = $\sqrt{144}$ = 12

Then

perimeter = 4s = 4 × 12 = 48

fence required to enclose garden = 48 ft

Using the conversion 1 yard = 3 feet , then

fence required = 48 ÷ 3 = 16 yards

Find the zeros of the function: f(x) = x^2 - 4x - 21

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

x = 7, x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the zeros by factoring the equation using the zero product property.

x^2-4x-21 = 0

(x-7)(x+3) = 0

x-7 = 0

x = 7

x+3 = 0

x = -3

Zeros are x=7 and x= -3.

Answer:

288

Step-by-step explanation:

24 = 8 1/3 % of x

24 = (25/3 * 1/100)x

25/300 x = 24

x = 24 * 300/25

x = 7200/25

x = 288
